A large group of Uber drivers gathered this afternoon to protest outside the car-hailing-app maker’s San Francisco headquarters. Chanting “no respect, no work,” the drivers told AllThingsD they are protesting the way Uber treats them. “They’re running a sweatshop with an app. They don’t have the balls to come down and talk to us. We’ve been here for two hours,” said Raj Alazzeh, a driver with SF Best Limo who is serving as the group’s spokesman. Alazzeh stood with a group of about 30 drivers, with more circling the block in the SOMA neighborhood amid Friday afternoon traffic to show their support.

    In terms of not caring for the people that do their dirty work, Uber is no different from the massmarket clothing...
